00:00 This is a soybean field that we replanted. We had corn here. I had an FMC plot here, and we replanted it back into soybeans 00:07 because of the stands just weren't there. We had six and a half inches of rain right after we planted. So the stands weren't suitable for 00:15 what we thought was gonna be a good corn crop. But now we have a bean crop here. This soybean field actually has an application 00:22 of eight ounces of in and 6.9 ounces of Ellevest. And as you can see, the beans have gotten pretty tall. Now, talls not all, you know, necessarily a bad thing. 00:32 You know, if you get too tall, they're, you know, it, it'll be trouble. You'll get into some logic. 00:36 But one thing that we always stress, you know, in extreme ag and I've done for my whole career, is not 00:41 to let you know stress, stress needs to be relieved from the plant. As you can tell, these plants have definitely been, uh, 00:47 relieved of stress 'cause they're pretty good sized plants. One thing that's pretty cool about the ins, 00:52 we're having some of these premium fungicides that are breaking with frogeye. Frogeye is a disease that we associate 00:57 with down here in the south a lot. And to be honest with you, I can find a few, you know, little spots here. 01:02 And what it does is make a little brown dot. And then if you get enough of those on, on your solar panel, then you know you're having problems. 01:10 So there is some, a few scattered symptoms of, of frogeye, but not to the extent of, of re-treatment. 01:17 These beans will be completely past that by that time, you know, so that's one thing that's very impressive about the a astro is, is 01:23 what it's done, you know, to our, you know, to that disease. Some of our biggest problems in soybeans, 01:29 especially when they're planted later, and like I said, these were planted behind corn, so they, they are a little bit later is we have worms come in, 01:36 you know, that will, you know, attack these, you know, pod, pod type worms that will come in 01:41 and attack these plants early when they're not canopied well. And also stink bugs are always a problem for us, 01:47 and the Ellevest seems to control both of those very, very well with a little longer, you know, acting active ingredient, I guess to, to further that out. 01:56 So we, we've got the application vetro, the application of the Ellevest. You can see these beans aren't stressed in any kind of way. 02:02 They're, they're running 20 plus nodes on 'em. You know, I had to kind of wall out to get in here to look at 'em. 02:08 Disease in my opinion, compared to the year we've had with Frogeye is absolutely excellent. So very, very satisfied with, with this application.
